The best personal wishes to each of you for continued success during the years that lie ahead. You have worked hard, these past years at R. G. N. H. The path may not have been always smooth or easy. Never¬ theless, with graduation you are ending an experience which I know you will undoubtedly come to cherish more and more with each passing year. This is an interlude in your life which you will hold among your fondest memories. The entire class of 1961 is granted a complimentary membership in the association by the Alumnae. We sincerely hope that you will join us in our Alumnae activities. For the future, we wish you success and happiness in your chosen profession and may you all Find the good, the strength, the ability that is within you. Use it and be at peace with yourself. Miss Luciou, President WHY LADY PATRONESSES? Many years ago, it became evident that, through lack of funds and for other similar reasons, patients in our hospitals were unable to receive those small extra considerations which make a period of illness easier to bear. A number of ladies in the community decided to organize with a view to purchasing small favours for the patients, and what was considered even more important to devote some of their time to visiting the sick. Over the years, the organization has expanded throughout the city, and now represents ladies from all walks of life, whose main interest is making a day a little brighter for some sick person. We have bought many items for the childrens ' play room and have given them treats on special occa¬ sions. The Public Wards have been supplied with over-bed tables and bed lamps. Our Occupational Therapy Department has helped many patients. We operate a Courtesy Cart for the Maternity Wards. This Cart carries Nursery supplies and baby ' s knitted wear. Our visiting Committee visits the public ward patients twice a month. They distribute magazines and treats. Last year we furnished the Physiotherapy Room at the Grey Nuns ' Hospital. All the T.V. sets in the Hospital were purchased by the Lady Pa¬ tronesses. A room on the 4th floor has been furnished by our organization. Our most recent purchase was a neurosurgical bed and a new type stretcher. Each year the nurse with the highest standing in Theory is awarded a pin on graduation. All these projects are furnished through the United Appeal and through our own money raising endeavo urs. Our May Tea and Bake Sale is our biggest project. All the ladies in this organization join whole heartedly with Mrs. J. Schwann, our President, in extending to the graduating nurses our congratulations, and hope that all their expectations and wishes shall be fulfilled in their newly chosen profession. Mrs. Schwann, President

What a change, just girls in this gang! One of our redheads, a new car too, we all envy her-wouldn ' t you. Johanne be nimble, Johanne be quick, Johanne just earned another pink slip. I wonder who will phone me tonight? Not overly serious, not overly gay, a real nice girl in a quiet way. Everybody ' s pal, somebody ' s gal. We couldn ' t get along without her. Peachy helps to keep the probie home QUIET! Boys aren ' t everything, but what else is there? Who is the lucky one tonight, Naidene? She always calls her patients, my lady If organization was the key to wealth, Pauline would be wearing a diamond studded pelt. Beth ' s guardian angel. Hails from Assiniboia, reigns there too, the old lamp lighter on first floor. Notre Dame, here I come. I wonder if Judy really bleaches her hair? Blessed are the joy makers, but Sister doesn ' t always think so. Her bluebird of happiness is a B-O-B olink. Her favorite song is Goodby Jimmy, Goodbye Quiet, willing and able, what more could you ask for? She ' s the only girl in the room with blood pressure in her ears. Dougall, you left your shoes in my room again. Our sleepy time gal. For lands sakes! She’s from SHAUNAVON! ! She is repapering her walls with pink slips. Set the alarm for five, and wake me at 7:30. Sally, if you can ' t be quiet, go sleep in the bathtub. Come on you guys, lets go to the hockey game. Third floors only pink slip in Anatomy. Announcing our Hawiian dancer and her harem. Guess who has the broken water gun on third floor? She serenades third floor to sleep with her bongos. Carol, open that window. If she isn ' t on the phone, she ' s in someones hair. Insists that this nursing school should be moved to Vanguard, or Vanguard move to Regina. Not the type to laugh or riot, she’s just quiet. But I really haven ' t eaten that much. Kind and sweet, but also mischevious. Schultzi-i-i-i-ie, where are you? You can ' t love two, and still be true. If Frances ever runs a nursing school, and decides new laws to pass, we’ll know the days are gone, when you separate sleep from class. Sits at the back of the classroom and sleeps. She’s getting quite good jumping from that window. Is it just her name that ' s wild? It ' s a panic!
